DON’T FIGHT FOR ANY POLITCIAN IN 2016 ELECTION-HON.SARPONG URGED THE YOUTH

Ghanaians across the country, especially the youth have been advised to shun any political party or politicians who would attempt to use them to chase trouble before, during and after this year’s general elections slated for 7^th December, 2016.

They should rather help in the promotion of peace and unity in all their endeavours because Ghanaians are one people with a common destiny and a common goal for developing the country irrespective of one’s political, religious or ethnic background.

Hon.Samuel Sarpong , who gave the advice in an interview with the Trust newspaper before the kick-off for the Eid Adah holiday gala among the various communities football teams(wards) held at Police Dapot,Pataai, reminded Ghanaians the need for peaceful co-existence.

The former Ashanti Regional Minister who doubles as the 2016 Nhyiaeso National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliaments candidate said the purpose for the gala, forms part of his efforts of promoting peace and unity among the people of the constituency especially with few weeks to the general elections.

The former Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), who is currently the Managing Director for the State Housing Company Ltd, flanked by the Nhyiaeso NDC Communications Officer, Mr.Atoya Tolbert among other executives promised that when elected as the next MP for the constituency, he will be a father for all.”Let me tell you that gone are the days when some people say that a particular constituency or region was their strongholds because the modern day electorates vote based on the candidates qualities, their capability among other factors not just voting on political party lines.

He therefore challenged his fun club members as the rank and file of the NDC in the area to intensify their campaign especially the house to House campaign to enable him and President Mahama win the Nhyiaeso seat.

“We need not to fight any one but let’s use this Samuel Saprong's fun club to promote peace and unity because that is the intention of forming the club and also to get more people in campaign to help NDC retain power.

He was very confident of winning the Nhyiaeso seat for the party and called on the rank and file of the party to ensure that the elections are held devoid of violence.

Hon.Sarpong also presented a set of jerseys and football to each of the teams made up of Santaai, Patasi, Fakyenebra,Sokoban, Atasomaso,South,Dakodwom,Aprema,Adiebra etc.

The Santasi Ward emerged the overall winners of the gala and went home with a trophy and a brand new football among other items. The second and third winners also received a  deserving awards.
